bentonville ar realtor: Hugger-mugger are the new words of the day. - 03/17/12 09:47 PM
 
Hugger-mugger are the new words of the day.
I chose to use two words for today and did so because that is how they are in my Webster’s®.  I’ve had people do this to me in the past and I find it hard to trust people because of it.  So to get to my point I need to tell you the meaning of (hug’er mug’er) is to keep secret, to behave in a secretive or confused way.  Therefore I understand there are things I don’t need to know and some things I know that I wished I didn’t.  What can’t … (7 comments)

Pecky is the new word of the day…
I was going to write about another word but I’m debating on how to use it without getting censored.  So you’re stuck with this one for today.  I’ve seen this and I know you have also; the question is how any times you’ve seen this.  So now I guess you would like to know the meaning of (pek’e) is showing or marked by spots or holes caused by decay.  So now that you know the meaning of pecky what say you?

400,000 a milestone.
As I am posting this I should be close if not over the 400,000 mark another milestone on my way up the leader board.  It began slowly and over the last couple of years I have found my niche and haven’t slowed down sense.  Now it’s not going up the leader board as much as it has became an obsession to post and write.  I’m motivated and rocking on down the road.  Thank you all for the comments you’ve made over this journey it inspires me to keep on going.  Enjoy the day I know I will.

Penetralia is the new word of the day..
In our profession we can’t have any of this.  I have in the past known people in the past and really currently that do this.  I for one will not do this because it will most assuredly get me in trouble.  Now for the meaning of (pen’I tra’le e) things kept private or secret.  No secrets in this profession.  Don’t want to stand before a judge and try and tell him/her why I decided to keep it a secret regardless of what it is.  What say you?

Quaff is the new word of the day.
Well if you read this I bet ya you’re wondering where in the world I found this one.  Well to tell you the truth it was in my Webster’s ®.  Now I’ve done this and some people who comment on my blogs I know have done this.  Of course the question I have for you is not if you’ve done this because I know you have the question is how often?  So the meaning of (kwaf) is to drink deeply in a hearty or thirsty way.  Now what say you?

The Easter Bunny
I’m sure you have all heard of the famous Easter Bunny commercial.  Well I have an entry and she wants to be the best entry to date.  I personally don’t know where to send the photo to so they can judge her.  Sooooo I’ll ask you do you think she is wasting her time or do you think she has a chance?

Suppose
For all you math wizards see if you can guess this one out before you read the answer. 
Just suppose I’m a grandfather (which I am) and I have a grandson who’s about as many days old as my son is weeks old and my grandson is as many months old as I am in years.  My son, grandson and I together are 140 years old.  How old am I in years?

Pawn is the new word of the day.
Now, now I know what first came into your mind but I assure you it’s not what you think.  We all know pawn shop where you take in an item and either sell it or give it to the broker for some funds.  Then there is the pawn used in a game called chess but in both cases you would be wrong.  The meaning of pawn (pon) I have chosen is a person used to advance another’s purposes.  I like being used as a pawn for my clients.  I help them advance … (11 comments)

Bedight is the new word of the day..
When during the course of the day I bet you do this.  It’s not like you can go through a day without doing this act.  Was that the hint you were looking for?  Again you ought to know me so without wasting any more of your time the meaning of (be dit’) is to arrange, compose, write.  So when you make a comment you are bedighting.  Look I don’t make up these I just find them… Enjoy the day :~)

Putsch is the new word of the day.
I really had reservations about posting this word.  Those of you who think they knew me than you know I just couldn’t resist and so here I take the leap again.  People all over the world you can see it on the news is doing this.  We can do this almost every year and surely every four years if you haven’t guess it yet the meaning of (pooch) is a sudden political uprising or rebellion.  Here is the good Old USA we have a rebellion of sorts every four years regardless of … (7 comments)

OK all you word seekers what have we here?  We all started out at this and where we will end up is anyone’s guess.  The question is on what stage and how you get to the end is the story of one’s life and the progress both bad and good along the way.  The meaning of (ad’ I nish’ e em) is at or to the beginning.  So for some of you this is the beginning or the first day of the rest of your life.  How will the last one be … (7 comments)

Rodomontade is the new word of the day.
<sigh> they never seem to go away.  No I’m not just talking about some people I’ve met in the past but some current.  However, we all at sometime in our lives have done this.  If you’re in this business you need to continue to do this but the secret is knowing when to quit.  So with that the meaning of (rad’e men tad’) is arrogant boasting or blustering, ranting talk.  While we all need to boast from time to time about our accomplishments knowing when not to is the secret what say … (8 comments)

Otiose is the new word of the day…
I must say I recently dealt with one of these.  Don’t know about you but I don’t like them or even want to be around them.  These people are something I would like to give to another agent that has wronged me. :~) Not really I just go and try to work with them for a little while.  I’m not one to beat around the bush and tell them outright when they are serious come see me again.  Usually that is the last I hear from them.  So the meaning of (o’she … (13 comments)

Clachan is the new word of the day.
There are a few of these still around here but not many.  Of course that all depends on the size of the clachan’s around you there may not be any close and there may not be any at all.  Hillary once said it I think but she used a different term.  Guess it yet?  The meaning of (klakh’en) is a hamlet and of course the meaning of hamlet is a small village.  Now that you know the meaning what say you?

Bailey is the new word of the day.
OK I could not get this one by the wife.  Although she did not nail it she came so darn close while writing this I can’t help but to shake my head in disbelief of how she knew this.  We as agents should know this word but just to be sure I looked in my handy dandy workbook.  You know the one we used to study for the exam.  Anyway it’s not in there so the meaning of (ba’le) is the outer wall or court of a medieval castle.  With some of … (9 comments)

Flummery is the new word of the day.
This is so good I will tell you right up front its origin is Welsh. I’ve had clients and so called friends do this to me and I was not impressed.  So what I would like to know is how often it has happened to you and do feel it’s happening now?  The meaning of (flum’er e) is meaningless flattery or silly talk.    So you don’t need to tell me a lot of my posts is meaningless flattery or sill talk but until now I didn’t know they had a word for … (10 comments)
